MADRID, Oct 19 — Kylian Mbappe scored twice, including one brilliant individual goal, as Real Madrid thrashed Sevilla 4-1 yesterday to climb to third in La Liga.
Arda Guler, who was fortunate to avoid an early red card for an elbow, netted a spectacular opener before Mbappe's double and a rocket from Yan Diomande as Jose Mourinho's side moved above Real Betis.
Mbappe's first was a sensational strike involving a roulette on the edge of Sevilla's box, while his second was a chipped Panenka penalty.
Champions Barcelona are six points ahead of Real Madrid before next weekend's Clasico at Camp Nou after thrashing Betis on Saturday, with Atletico Madrid second, sandwiched between Spain's giants.
